french fries at the county fair [215:365]

being that i never [or rather rarely] go to county fairs, i decided to take the opportunity to indulge in something greasy, fried, and in general, not good for me. i decided the world famous curly fries stand would do the trick. i put in my $6.. not really questioning the exhorbant cost as everything costs more at county fairs. being the only one in line or waiting for my order, i thought the passing time seemed a little much for my single order.

'your fries are ready' he yelled my way.
i turned and looked up to the most enormous pile of curly q'd fries i'd ever seen...
my jaw literally dropped.
i looked around to see if this was actually someone else's order.
i looked at erika... is he serious? she was already folded over laughing.

arms still outstretched to me with what i swear was 5 potatoes, i finally accepted my order... still amazed, half embarrassed and confident i wouldn't even make a dent in the pile.
